Hello, I have an ASUS-manufactured ATI Radeon HD 5850 1G and it has the awful gray vertical line crash. After doing some investigating, I'm told that a fix to the vbios fixed this problem for the 5800-series cards. (I got my machine in 11/2009, and apparently the fix for the vbios was released just a few months after that. As to why I went almost two years without really experiencing this problem, I can't say, but I sure as heck got it now.)
So I went to TPU's awesome video bios page and found the available vbios files for my card. Oh! First, I actually opened my case and looked at the card to confirm the manufacturer and model. And yes, definitely ASUS, definitely a 5850.
So anyway, both vbios files that I've tried have given me an error stating that the SSIDs don't match.
Is this normal? Is it safe to use the -fs flag to force flash bypassing the SSID check? I really don't want to end up with a bricked card. Someone, please reassure me.
